'''Mary L. Moreland''' (December 23, 1859 – March 17, 1918) was an American Congregational minister. She also wrote numerous books and pamphlets.
She attended the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, and was ordained to the Congregational ministry at Wyanet, Ill., July 19, 1889, serving until 1895. She held pastorates at McLean, Normal, Chebanse, Mazon and Belvidere, Ill., also doing evangelical work. In 1905 she received the degree of PH.D. Author of " Which, Right or Wrong" and numerous books and pamphlets. Was unmarried. She died at Belvidere, Ill., March 17, 1918, of pneumonia.
==Early life and education==
Mary Leona Moreland was born in [[Westfield, Massachusetts]], December 23, 1859. On her father's side, she was of Scotch ancestry.
She commenced her school-days at the age of six years. The family removed to [[New Ipswich, New Hampshire]], where they lived six years. While there, at the age of fourteen, she entered Appleton Academy. She was graduated with the high record of scholarship. She was converted at the age of fourteen and joined the [[Baptists|Baptist Church]]. Soon after her graduation, the family removed to [[Fitchburg, Massachusetts]]. There she became a member of the First Baptist Church. About that time, she began her temperance work. She was among the first of [[Massachusetts]] young women to take the white ribbon in the [[Woman's Christian Temperance Union]], and, although a girl of sixteen, she was upon the platform a successful lecturer.
==Career==
After her graduation in Appleton Academy, she taught school several terms. Soon after she removed to Fitchburg, Dr. Vincent went with his [[Chautauqua]] Assembly to Lake View, [[Framingham, Massachusetts]]. She attended the assembly for six consecutive years and laid foundation for the study of the ministry, to which she added the normal courses in the [[Bible]] and also took the four years in the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, class of 1884.
While in the assembly, she collected the materials for her books, ''Which, Right or Wrong?'' (Boston), and ''The School on the Hill''. During the four years in which she was taking the Chautauqua course, editing the above books and contributing many short articles to different papers, she was constantly invited to address public meetings. She studied theology two winters in the home of Rev. Mr. Chick. She also attended the [[Moody Bible Institute]], [[Chicago]].
In 1882, she had occupied the pulpit a number of times, but had not then thought that she was called to ministerial work. In the fall of 1885, she went to [[Illinois]] on a visit to her sister, intending to labor in the West in the [[Temperance movement in the United States|cause of temperance]]. She became interested in revival work, in which she has been eminently successful. Her first revival was through a meeting held in the interest of the [[Woman's Christian Temperance Union]]. The most remarkable of those revivals was that which occurred in February and March, 1889, in Sharon and Spring Hilt. There were more than 100 conversions and a church was organized.
Her first call to settle as pastor was in the summer of 1888, in the [[Keithsburg, Illinois|Keithsburg]] circuit, [[Illinois]] conference, by Elder Smith, of the [[Church of the United Brethren in Christ|United Brethren Church]]. She declined to accept the invitation. At that time, Rev. E. M Baxter, of the Dixon district, urged her to preach the gospel, and Rev. Louis Curtis, elder of that district, requested her to spend the time which she could spare from revival work in [[Eldena, Illinois]]. She began her labors, and they gave her a unanimous call, but being a [[United Methodist Church|Methodist Church]], according to the discipline, she could only be a stated supply. A few months later, she received an invitation to supply the pulpit of the First Congregational Church of [[Wyanet, Illinois]]. The church prospered, and the people desired that Moreland should be ordained and installed as their pastor. After much persuasion and deliberation, she consented. A council of six ministers and the same number of delegates from the adjacent churches convened in Wyanet, July 19, 1889. It was one of few instances in which a woman was called to the ministry in the [[Congregational church]] in the United States. After a rigid examination, the council retired and voted unanimously to proceed to the ordination. She served in Wyanet until 1895.
Moreland held pastorates at [[McLean, Illinois]], [[Normal, Illinois]], [[Chebanse, Illinois]], [[Mazon, Illinois]], and [[Belvidere, Illinois]], also doing evangelical work. In 1905, she received the degree of Ph.D.
Moreland never married. She died at [[Belvidere, Illinois]], March 17, 1918, of [[pneumonia]].
